Enough Musk Spam

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Could this all be a setup to offload his huge failure onto the Trump cult? I don't think it's a 4D chess thing. It does seem on brand though.

Sometimes I thought that could be the case, but then remember when I played mafia: the people causing chaos are never secretly the good ones, because even if intentions are secretly good (or they think they know best), the long-lasting effects of setting the wrong example in positions of power, making misleading arguments, obfuscating the truth, contradicting themselves and avoiding accountability, disrupting clarity and healthy communication are unambiguously destructive.

I never implied that Musk was a good guy. I think he's a selfish scheming piece of trash taking advantage of another sociopathic billionaire that has dementia.

Trump is one of the only people on earth dumb enough and obsessed with social media enough to fall for it.

Yea, I figured half way that maybe by scamming you just meant for money and not to undermine him (even if it may look like it, because the escalating failures are so egregious), but just kept going because I wanted to get that off my chest after seeing too many elonstans covering for him on reddit, sorry :)
